* Cut the bottom chamber down mercilessly to save mass, aiming to get the sum of both chambers below 500g using my recommended settings. Haven't reached it yet, but we're close. | * Cut the bottom chamber down mercilessly to save mass, aiming to get the sum of both chambers below 500g using my recommended settings.

* Completely changed the motor mount. It's now vertical, and sits atop the load cell. I didn't want its weight in the load cell's measurement, but it wasn't at all worth the added complexity of an orthogonal motor (worm gear, etc.). Things work **much** better now -- you can put a level atop the spool, and watch it rotate serenely for hours. | * Completely changed the motor mount. It's now vertical, and sits atop the load cell.

Eliminated the air shield; it didn't prove necessary, and significantly increased print time. | ||
* Added a hole for an RP-SMA antenna, and a hole for a NEMA plug + rocker switch. | |||
* Added helical forms to the top and the hot chamber, so they screw together. | |||
